SC issues with Vista

ok, I've had no problems running sc with vista. The only issue I'm having is when I try to connect to bnet, it says "can't recognize your application version, try reinstalling...etc." So I tried that, no luck. I even manually installed the patches, still nothing. My firewall is configured to allow it, I tried turning it off too, just incase. When I switch back to XP I connect instantly, no problem. I have SC running under administrator, in 256 color, in 640x480 res, and Windows XP SP2 compatability. I can't figure out anything else that would be stopping it.

Are you behind a router?

If so, forward port 6112.

Yes I am, but like I said, with XP it works just fine, I'm running XP from the same computer, and I'm on Battle.net with starcraft right now. My router is forwarded. It's a vista issue I can't figure out. Also, I would still be able to connect if 6112 wasn't forwarded, just not play games.

It's not a Vista issue, it's a you issue; SC works just fine for me.

It works just fine on XP, but not Vista, that means it is a vista issue, thank you very much.

You're stubborn beyond belief. If it works for Syphon and many others, as opposed to you, I think we can call that a you issue. If it truly was a Vista fuckup, it would effect everyone.

It can be a vista compatability error with some hardware of mine, it can be any number of terrible things. What I'm asking is what IN VISTA have I missed ,that should get it working?

Are you installing from a CD?

If so, attempt to copy the enitre C:\program files\Starcraft directory to a flash drive, then paste it into the program files directory on Vista, then generate and run this .reg file.

Yeah, although it's dead, no one's been on it in over a year and a half, other than me checking. Mostly I've been busy with my new clan.

www.scms.co.nr is the school's site

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
